I’ve thought about starting a blog for a long time—a place to share my journey and thoughts with others who may feel as alone in a crowd as only mothers seem to know. I hope that here, you find a kindred spirit. Someone you can connect with through shared successes and failures. This is me—unfiltered, unaltered, and trying to grow into the person I want to be.
A Season of Change
A lot has been happening in my life lately. I was recently let go from my job due to restructuring, and now I find myself juggling job searches, interviews, holidays, family events, and the everyday chaos of raising two boys. It’s a truly transitional period—an honest start to a new chapter.
And honestly? I have no idea how it’s all going to turn out.
Rediscovering Myself Through Creativity
While I’m still looking for that new career, I’m also building something that means a lot to me.
I’m a creative. An artist.
Photography gives me an outlet to express that creativity, to create meaningful pieces for others, and to share my joy in art. My passion for motherhood only deepens that love. It adds to the excitement I feel in focusing my photography on women who do so much for everyone else. I want you to feel seen.
Why Motherhood Photography Matters to Me
When I was pregnant with my first child, I had maternity photos taken—but I never got to see a single one. Something went wrong, and those moments were lost. And I’ll never have them back. I’ll never be who I was during that time again. I’ve changed. But because of that experience, I’m driven to help others make sure they don’t go through the same heartbreak.
The Joy and Chaos of Right Now
Life with two boys is beautifully chaotic. They're full of energy and emotions—tears and giggles come in equal measure.
They’re changing me.
I’m learning to become the mother they need, and that’s not always easy. But I’m doing my best—one day, one challenge at a time.
I love this season of motherhood. The kicks during pregnancy. The quiet, early mornings of nursing. The toddler cuddles and belly laughs. I love when I play peek-a-boo and both boys burst into laughter, or when one randomly kisses my arm. Yes, they drive me crazy—but I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
I Don't Want to Lose Myself
Undefinable Moments is my creative outlet. It’s how I hold onto the parts of myself that so often get pushed aside in motherhood. I love being a mom—but I don’t want to lose myself in it. I want my kids to see that you don’t have to give up who you are to raise a family.
You can grow and shift, and still stay you.
Why I'm Writing Here
This blog exists for a number of reasons. It’s a place for me to share my story. A place to build connection with other moms. A space where someone might read these words and feel less alone. One day, I hope this becomes something my kids—or even grandkids—can look back on to see who I was.
I welcome anyone and everyone who wants to follow along on my journey. I know I’m excited to see where it goes.
Becoming who He made me to be
